Teen fights, especially among girls, force early closure of north Alabama water park

DECATUR, Alabama — Officials at a water park in Decatur say they shut down early after a series of fights broke out between teenagers.

Police say the fights, mostly involving girls, broke out at Point Mallard's water park on Monday.

They say the fights continued across the city, with reports of brawls at a gas station and at a McDonald's

Police say no arrests were made Monday evening and no one was seriously hurt.

Julianne Lowman, Point Mallard's marketing director, says park officials decided it was in the best interests of patrons and employees to close early. She says anyone with a receipt showing they entered the park at 3:30 p.m. or later can use it for admission on another day.
